The tribal run…

The tribal run is a 5 day experience with mountain roads through the most famous places for motorbike riders in Thailand. Some call it “The Mae Hong Son Loop”, but we have added more to this route than just riding and seeing the sights.

Here is the full itinerary for these 5 days, only with some great surprises not mentioned.

Day 1. Chiang Mai to Mae Sariang (270 KM)

Remember that in our tours, we start early in the morning after breakfast and we arrive back in Chiang Mai after ended tour in the afternoon, so you might need a total of 6 nights on this whole trip. The bike ride is 5 days and 4 nights in total. Day 1 is our longest ride-day on this tour.

After you arrive and spend a night in Chiang Mai, we will start our day just after breakfast with a ride up to Thailand`s highest peak, Doi Inthanon. We will experience to see some of the great temples built for the old king and queen of Thailand and one of Thailand’s most popular waterfalls.

On the top of the 2565 meter high mountain, we will have our first coaching session to get to know each-other and to create awareness of your challenges if any.

After this visit, we will ride to the small town of Mae Sariang, where we will stay at a hotel on the riverside for the night. The afternoon is used to get additional information on the rest of the tour, and our guide will inform you anything you might need to know about the Northern Part of Thailand. Followed by a nice dinner in this cosy town.

Day 3. Mae Hong Son to Baan Rak Thai. (50 KM)

This day is a very short ride to a Chinese inspired village of Baan Rak Thai (Means; Village that loves Thai).
